I believe it, Chattanooga from what I have heard is pretty cool.
Ooof if you have to compare to Alabama or Mississipi though...
Again, the humans in those places are physically the same as anywhere, it is the ideas these places celebrate that makes them such dumb places. I don't mean there aren't cool people, cool people are everywhere!
The problem with meeting cool people from these places though is most people have to pick their battles and when you live in an aggressively toxic society that means accepting and normalizing the toxic things that aren't primary to the struggle between your beliefs and the society you are trapped in.
Connecting with people from these places thus often feels like walking through a pleasant, beautiful minefield.
Chattanooga is definitely cool. And yeah, there's a reason I left the south. And I didn't "have to compare" TN to Alabama and Mississippi, those are just easy examples. There must be 10 states worse to live in, for the reasons you specify, than Tennessee.
